[…] In every film, no matter who the director is, there’s always a sense of trepidation. You have to remember that you’re coming in at the very end of the process, and you have the potential to change the film completely. When you have a film that is about music, you have to be even more considerate about what you’re bringing to the project. If there’s too much music it can seem heavy-handed.

La Gioconda is not a particularly subtle piece, and Arrigo Boito (who wrote the libretto, albeit under a pseudonym) would go on to write stronger pieces for Verdi. Olivier Py's production […]
